Hang the foam boards on the outside of your post and beams.,tape to seal Then hang the metal siding over the foam boards...

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Good idea thanks.

[@MalleusDei275]

Thanks too... You know what they say about common sense...

[@brettblack7049]

What would you tape it with. That's what I'm doing, I was considering using ice and water shield, cutting strips into 8" pieces, cheaper thing I could think of. BTW, the insulation board I have is foil faced on both sides.

[@jpdunamislodge]

Cool idea. We’re looking at modifying this a bit and fabricating roof panels that will skip in in between our trusses and our metal roof. 👍🏻🤜🏻👉🏻✌🏻

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment good luck on your build.

[@Hatch61]

That will be helpful in both summer and winter, and it even brightens up the shop. It looks great guys, thanks for having us over, be well, and God bless.

[@stephensimpson5283]

Hopefully you can do your roof space as well. I did, it made a massive difference. Great work guys. 😀

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

Y’all did a great job on this Kevin! Please tell your bride I said hello! Thank you for sharing!

[@backcountyrpilot]

Love the thin strips to create an air gap. I’ll use that for my hangar. Facing the reflective side toward the sun with an air gap will keep heat out. Shouldn’t it face in when used in a predominantly cold climate?

[@Tsiri09]

I love using this stuff. 2" is R13 but is very expensive. two - 1" sheets is just about the same R value and is cheaper in my area.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Your right Tina thanks for the comment and watching.

[@TheWoodHaven]

Looks good. I need to do that to my garage. I freeze every winter.

[@AZOverland2017]

Try using a Hot Knife. Cuts through like butter and leaves NO mess. I do insulation for a living

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the information and watching.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Holds the heat in winter and helps keep summer tolerable. No building anywhere should be without it. I am getting more and more favorable to the closed cell spray on foam. Pretty inexpensive in the long run eh. Thanks bud. You are always heading in the right direction eh. Doin it right eh !

[@williammcguire3rd]

Yall doing a great job. The noise it makes cutting gave me the chills. Lol. Now are you gonna do the roof as well?

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Hopefully we will always have that other day eh. Great job fella !

[@Bamaoutdoors]

Thanks for sharing. Have you seen any sweating on the roof or the sides?

[@squid148]

Smartest idea on KZbin!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you Squid glad you liked it.

[@gaylerobinson1322]

Enjoying the videos.

[@flyinggyros9745]

Looking good Kevin.

[@280zone]

Looks good Kevin, Julie. Now I need to turn my insulation around so the foil is out :) Another suggestion instead of that glue, how about just sticking toothpicks through it to hold it in place?

[@highway2run]

Which way the foil goes would depend on your climate?

[@tuckermcneese239]

Did you use anything to adhere the foam board to the metal siding or just wedge in? Thanks in advance.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Just wedge in worked great thanks for the comment.

[@kammyHS]

Hi Kevin, looks great I plan on doing my pole barn as well. Wondering if you purchased your foam board from Lowes. Been looking at other foam boards from other box stores and none seem to be that high In R-Value. Thanks

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Got mine from Lowe's

[@tnt421]

What are the advantages of using the foam board insulation instead of fiberglass? Which provides better noise reduction?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

We used it because the walls were to thin for regular insulation

[@tnt421]

@@Robinson-Homestead Thanks for the response. I'm leaning towards the foam board.

[@timliggett5088]

That might be okay but a chargeable fillet fish knife is like butter compared to that saw knife

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Cool thanks for sharing.

[@MrSTOUT73]

Wont you get condensation in the air space between the foil and outside metal wall?

[@stephensimpson5283]

I doubt it. With the air gap he created and the gaps between the shed wall and timber, there will be plenty of air moving. I’ve done the same with my workshop I. Qld Australia (very humid) and have no problems. This will work a treat. Mine made a massive difference to the heat inside.

[@frankcarrerejr]

ThAt should make it a lot more comfortable to work in there.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I think it will work out pretty good for the winter

[@NiNjaTurtLe697]

Do you have heating or cooling in there?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Yes i have a wood burning stove.

[@kaseycasece1340]

young man , your way look pretty nice , BUT why u did not do this way , u want need to much cutting insulate at all ? use : plastic round cap 2 inch or 2 - 1/2 inch long roofing nails , 4 x 8 sheet of insulate fit wall better plus + stil have air space too !
